I've personally seen this when the poll interval is tighter than 5s/16s on systems with a) several hundred poll targets or b) greater than 80% load. Setting back to the default poll interval solved the up/down issues for me.

 

Is that done within the trap definitions I've posted or is this done somewhere else? When I'm looking at the health monitor through the gui they aren't going up and down like the emails are indicating. I'm just wondering if these traps use a different poll interval? Can I explicitly define them separately from the default interval?
